Check the coverage close there are a few things Asurian covers which Square Trade does not cover, it appears to me. Theft and loss for two Samsung Galaxy S Insurance My last coverage was due to theft when I had been to a coffee shop. I had one stolen from my auto but my auto is $500.00 or $1000.00 deductible. I even had to pay the glass breakage but my Asurion after the deductible sent me a new not refurb (lucky one) tablet.

I was recently reviewing my auto policy because I just paid off my auto loan.
Under comprehensive coverage, if I drop from $1000 dedutcible to $50 deductible,
it will only cost me $7.93 per month. (about $96 per year) That's not really a lot of
money... I wonder if I should drop it to $50 deductible.

I had my vehicle financed through what used to be GMAC and they would not let me have $1000 they made me take $500. I don't have an answer to your question that would be up to you. Only you know what you can afford. I have learned to just not leave my electronics out where they can be seen from the outside of the car and always lock it no matter where I have it parked. Now if I can teach my wife not to leave her purse where it can be seen from outside the car when she takes her wallet out and goes inside the store to make a purchase. I would purchase the Asurian for my phone as it covers many other things which can and do happen to phones. Just my opinion on it. YMMV

Does Asurion cover phones from vehicles? For example, if I leave my phone inside the glove box and someone breaks the window to steal phone....

Something to think about on phone insurance. I know some people have their phones insured thru their house policy and maybe their cars under theft. Had a insurance company explain something that most people don't know, if you file a claim for your phone under your homeowner insurance it will go against your claim history and raise rates or cause termination of home insurance, all for $700 claim. Was very highly recommended not to claim your phone's and this particular company charges $10 year for phone coverage, they suggest not to buy the coverage.

If you purchase your phone at Costco they have a deal with square trade for 99 bucks and a $25 deductible you get up to four replacements and a fifth specific to battery. So If you have used four replacements and the battery goes bad on the fourth you are good. I love it. My HTC one was only 182 out the door plus the warranty. Little over twenty bucks more than it would have been at the ATT store without the warranty.

You have a 30 day window from the time of purchase to accept or decline insurance. I would recommend the $6.99 TEC Asurion bundle. It gives you 2 claims a year at a $99 deductible per claim on your S4 and covers lost, stolen, damaged and rooted devices. It also extends your Verizon warranty indefinitely, as opposed to just one year (so long as you keep the insurance).

By the way, I'm not a salesman, just another S4 user who loves this phone, as noted below

Not to hyjack the thread but I notice you have Cyanogenmod on your NEXUS 7. Is it CM10.1 based on Jelly Bean 2.2? I have it running on my S3 and an I815 Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 and really like it on those 2 runs very smooth. My son has the NEXUS 7 and I was thinking he might like it better. Just looking for opinion! I may very well put it on my S4 32gb after I get it and they get a real stable version for it.

Like everyone said you have 30 days to purchase. Have you looked into protectcell (Beyond cell phone insurance, complete protection for your mobile lifestyle) for your cell phone insurance? They have protection plans that range from $29.99-$199.99. They also have an unlimited amount of damaged smart phones per year. Other phone insurance companies only allow 2 incidents per year.
